What You Should Know

Congratulations to Eric Schneiderman!
You should know that I offer my congratulations to New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for proposing a ban on outside income for legislators, as was reported in every newspaper today.
You should also know that New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is no “Johnny-Come-Lately” to this matter. In 2009 and in 2010, when I first introduced Senate Bill 3149 asking for the same thing - barring outside income for legislators - the only State Senator at the time who supported my bill and co-sponsored it was Eric Schneiderman. (I have continued to introduce this legislation every year and so far, only a handful of my colleagues have offered their support.)
Ladies and gentlemen, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s record speaks for itself, and I congratulate him for having the moral fiber to remain strong on this much-needed piece of ethics reform.
I am State Senator Rubén Díaz and this is what you should know.
